The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
inany names bit it is essen
tally the ser complaint.
Hospitals a"'I .ve5c institu-
tons for r@rN~,~ 'at'ents are
crowded. 10 acreage of Life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and p;,.'llc men are so
frequent rs scarcely TO excite
remark. Tue ma cry Of sui
cides, comnl.,.el w.gnout ap-,
parent reason, .'iiderso-called
depression Of sp.lits," are
really prompt.'l by nervous
prostration, VII . IS a fruitful
source of in.ia " and crime
with all their g.. and horror.
These facts ere startling.
They threaten 1e vely lite OF
the nation. IIcy assail the
springs Of its Nower and pros
perity. They yrecl manhood,s
strength and woinan's useful
ness and beaut,
Every coo 7hould know the
causes. \. In arc they? The
answer is ca>y and terribly
plain: Ou Vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow
crty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
uight into day; and, briefly.
our desperate willingness to
ray any price for an hours
uleasur2 or success. So We
urn LIES candle at both end
md fill the lunatic asylum.
and the graveyards.
The disease from which W
suffer and die is, in plain En-
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as j
is seated in the Nerves and il
the ORGAN # DIGESTION, ASSN
.lation and Nut ion. Healthy
digestion heir.,. impeded or des-
troyed, tie whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its walnings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest i'll ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys'
